Minne Atairu

Minne Atairu is an interdisciplinary artist with a research-based practice focused on reclaiming obscured histories. Using generative artificial intelligence and additive fabrication, Atairu reassembles visual, sonic and textual fragments into conceptual works that engage with questions of repatriation.

With an MA in Museum Studies from The George Washington University and a BA in Creative Arts from the University of Maiduguri, Atairu’s work reflects the complexities of Black identity within AI systems. Her practice has been presented in exhibitions and performances at institutions including Frieze London, the Harvard Art Museums, Markk Museum, SOAS Brunei Gallery University of London, Microscope Gallery and the Fleming Museum of Art.

Atairu received the 2021 Lumen Prize for Art and Technology (Global Majority Award) in recognition of her innovative explorations at the intersection of art and technology.
